Saw this plane on Facebook. Lady asking anything about it. I see Stanley bought  Bailey's patents and machinery in 1869 and then used them and that is why Stanley planes are Bailey . So thinking this is before 1869 ??

 

Edit : Opps did not  do enough research . It is a G-3 Gage Patent plane. Patent date 1885. When Stanley bought the company in 1919 and produced this plane from 1920 till 1920. Mystery solved but it does not make sense . I have never seen one of these , has anyone ?

Not me, but it would be cool to have that sitting around as a conversation piece. I'd hate to see Newman get one...he'd actually use it!

Noooooo! It just needs a little TLC, not the Newman wire wheel! Save the patina, save the patina, save the patina!

Hate to tell you this Fred, but I'd just clean it up and use it. Mine ain't no beauty queen either, but she does what I ask of her.

Well, some planes just need a cleaning, and a simple green wipe down, yours would be a great candidate for a complete restore.

Also illegal to do according to the State of California.  How do you guys survive walking around all the time in hazmat suits??

I cleaned up the blade, chip breaker, and adjustment parts then put her to work.

It survived being submerged in a flooded warehouse basement.
